As work neared completion at the Dan
River Prison Work Farm at Yanceyville, another Inmate
Construction project began in Tyrrell County.

The new prison being built near Columbia, NC was
a prison work farm similar in construction to the unit
being completed. Some inmate workers moved from Dan River
to Tyrrell to continue using their construction skills.

In October 1996, work at the site had
been underway about two months. Here inmate crews have
put waterproofing and wire re-inforcement in place for a
dormitory floor slab to be poured.
